Steve Bloom!

While I was in Edinburgh on Wednesday there was a photography exhibition; "Spirit of the Wild is in St Andrews Square, Edinburgh. The exhibition runs until 16th May as part of the International Year of Biodiversity and Edinburgh Science Festival."
I've never really been stopped by photography, but the images were all so different and so captivating that I found myself walking around and looking at them all.

The link below details the exhibition and shows the images.

I think that the most captivating thing about his photography is his ability to capture the wild animals in their natural environment looking so at home and relaxed, doing anything that comes natural. It's hard to choose a favourite as there are so many amazing photographs that are full of life and energy.









I particularly love the image above because it just seems so impossible to get that close to a wild animal and for them too feel completely comfortable to go about their normal activities.
